Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Delight, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Delight who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
